Product Description | Systemin is one of the many plant hormones that has been isolated during the past few decades, first plant peptide hormone found in tomato leaves. Systemin activates a lipid-based signal transduction pathway involved in defense gene transcription. The peptide corresponds to the mature sequence (aa 179-196) of systemin precursor. |
Scientific Background | Systemin is a 18-residue synthetic peptide with the sequence Ala-Val-Gln-Ser-Lys-Pro-Pro-Ser-Lys-Arg-Asp-Pro-Pro-Lys-Met-Gln-Thr-Asp. The sequence contains 3 Lys and 1 Arg residues, contributing cationic character. These sequence-derived properties describe the reagent chemically; no specific receptor, enzyme, pathway, disease association, or biological activity is assigned without product-specific experimental evidence. |
Research Applications | - LC-MS/HPLC analytical method development
- sequence-specific assay controls
|
Experimental Notes | Sequence-derived chemical properties support reagent selection and experimental planning but do not establish biological function. Solubility, aggregation, adsorption, conjugation efficiency, and assay performance should be validated under the intended experimental conditions. |
